What is the Macmillan Darts Marathon?
Take on the biggest game in darts. 12 hours throwing or chase a 100,000-point target to raise money for men living with cancer. Men make up more than half of new cancer cases but many of them do not seek support. The Darts Marathon aims to get men talking about cancer one throw at a time.
Our partnership with Greene King has raised more than £27 million to support people living with cancer since 2012
In 2026, Macmillan and Greene King are celebrating 14 years in partnership. The UK’s leading pub company and brewer continues to go above and beyond. Over £27 million has been raised since our partnership began in 2012. This money is helping to fund Macmillan Professionals and our Support Line service, helping thousands of people living with and affected by cancer.

Supporting people living with cancer
In March 2026 Greene King and Macmillan launched The Early Bell campaign as part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, with the backing of cancer campaigner, and prostate cancer survivor Errol McKellar.
During the campaign, pub bells across the UK rang out early at 6pm for six evenings to raise awareness of the 1 in 6 men in the UK who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. The campaign aimed to get people talking about prostate cancer and encourage people to seek help early.
Alongside the Early Bell campaign, Greene King pubs across the UK hosted charity events throughout March to raise funds for Macmillan’s free, confidential Support Line, which is available from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via online chat.
Find out more about the Early Bell Campaign on our website.
